Ingredients
- 4 ounces bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 large bunches collard greens, tough lower stems discarded, leaves cut into 1-inch pieces (about 12 cups leaves)
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, melted
- Nonstick cooking spray, for the ice cream scoop
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the collards: Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until the fat is rendered but the bacon is not yet crisp, about 8 minutes. Add the collard greens, stock, onion powder, pepper and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens have wilted down and most of the liquid has evaporated, 10 to 12 minutes. Scrape the greens into a small oval baking dish and spread into an even layer.
- For the drop biscuit topping: Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking soda, sugar and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk and butter in a small mixing bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until a dough comes together.
- Spray an ice cream scoop with cooking spray and scoop the biscuits onto the collards, leaving some collards exposed. Each biscuit should be about 2 heaping tablespoons of dough. Bake until the greens bubble around the edges and the biscuits are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Reviews
I felt the biscuits would be too much so I made a panko breadcrumb topping with grated parm and Old Bay seasoning mixed in..drizzle with olive oil…turned out good
I wanted to love this. The recipe is off. Way too much baking soda. The biscuits were inedible. I was so disappointed. The collards were good tho.
Sounds yummy can’t wait to make this!
This family LOVES collards & *this* recipe is the bomb!
